Initiation Rites of African Diaspora and Aboriginal Peoples

Initiation rites of the Haitian Vodou kanzo and the Aboriginal Australian bora, both graded and secluded passages into a closed community of knowledge. A ritual belongs here when its cited article describes an initiation of an African diaspora or Aboriginal Australian tradition. It excludes the initiation rites of world religions. Examples in the atlas include Kanzo and Bora. Both rites are kept within the initiated community, so the group records what outside scholarship states and nothing more.
